Matrix Theatre Company Announces Fundraising Campaign

For more than 26 years, Matrix Theatre Company has created "Theatre that Matters." They produce high quality, professional theatre that aims to begin and further issue-based conversations and build upon the sense of community that will strengthen society's resolve toward social justice.

In July, Matrix had the honor of participating in the O'Brien Construction Company Charity Giveaway. They competed with other worthy non-profit organizations located in southeastern Michigan for a chance to win $5,500 by getting the most online votes. Out of 32 organizations, Matrix Theatre Company came out in fourth place with 2,109 votes. O'Brien Construction Company decided to award $550 each to the second through fifth place finishers.

While that helps, Matrix needs more support to continue live theatre in Detroit. As a result, they launched their "If You Can't Win It, Raise It" campaign. They've set an aggressive goal of $11,000.

Matrix is hosting this crowdfunding campaign on Generosity, and those who donate at specific levels are eligible to claim perks. A contribution to Matrix affords a chance to earn social media shout outs, T-shirts, tickets and more.

To donate, visit their campaign website. Matrix has also selected its 2017-2018 Mainstage Season, which they will announce soon. Stay tuned for more information. Visit http://www.matrixtheatre.org/ for details.
